Titans tell McNair to leave

April 04, 2006

Tennessee Titans QB Steve McNair was asked to leave the team's training facility when he reported Monday for offseason workouts, ESPN reported. McNair was told by a team trainer he would not be allowed to work out until his contract situation is resolved, according to James Cook, who represents McNair. ESPN, citing Titans sources, reported it was a decision made by owner Bud Adams, who apparently fears that an offseason injury would make him liable for McNair's current contract. McNair is scheduled to make $10 million in 2006. His salary cap charge is almost $24 million, and the team is trying to get McNair to restructure his deal. "The reason his cap number is $24 million is because they kept asking him to restructure every year," Cook told ESPN.
